      <td>Why should I use <div id="tellme">Tell Me Straight</div>?</td>
      <td>
<div id="tellme">Tell Me Straight</div> is like “1-800-How’s-My-Driving” or a suggestion-box at your 
local restaurant.  But <div id="tellme">Tell Me Straight</div> is better than the old fashioned comments-box, 
because it has the convenience of email-like correspondence.  Like email, the 
system allows people to send messages back and forth multiple times.  But unlike 
traditional email or online discussion boards, messages from the commenter 
remain completely anonymous and confidential (there is no security-defying feature like "caller-id").

      <td> 
Anyone who wants feedback on a product or service will find <div id="tellme">Tell Me Straight</div> 
useful.  The most traditional example may be a business owner who wants 
comments from customers.  Listed below are just a few more examples of 
feedback pairs:

response from the boss.

        <b>If you want to get critiques: </b>
        <br />
Click on the link below to set up your own anonymous and confidential critique 
page.  The tool uses Google accounts to sign in.  You can customize your page to 
explain who you are and what type of feedback is invited.  After clicking Submit, 
you will be redirected to your new critique page.  Note down or bookmark the 
address, because you will need to give this to the employees you want feedback 
from.
        <br />
        <br />
        <b>If you want to give a critique: </b>
        <br />
You will need the exact web identity of the person you wish to critique so that you can be directed to that critique page. The person who has requested critiques can either give you a full web address to get directly to the correct page, or can give you just his or her identifier to supply after you click "Click Here," below. You will be given 
an option of creating a “handle” or alias, or remaining nameless.  You then simply 
write a message in the field provided, and click Submit.  A new private web page 
will be automatically generated and displayed when there is a reply to your critique, if you used a handle. A confidential link to that reply will automatically be given to you immediately when you submit your comment.
